"BESANCON, France (Reuters) - A man who erased his drink-driving record from a police computer and replaced it with a winking "smiley face" graphic ended up with a suspended licence and a fine when police failed to see the funny side."

Noisy 'fence' to protect lake from invasive fish |

A sound like trumpeting elephants is the best way to keep the dreaded Asian carp out of Lake Michigan, a British expert said Wednesday. "It's similar to putting your hand in hot water and pulling it out," he said. "It causes them to turn tail and go in the opposite direction." Sound at 160 to 170 decibels, about the same level that irritates humans, will repel the invasive fish but is only one-tenth of the level that would stun them. A Saturn rocket generates 150 decibels; rifle fire, 130 decibels. The barrier will generate a pulsing rather than steady sound. "We had to answer the question of what's unpleasant to a fish," Nedwell said. "It sounds rather like an elephant trumpeting, or maybe a mad bagpiper."

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Center for Earthquake Research and Information at the University of Memphis have updated their expectations for earthquakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The new forecasts estimate a 7 to 10 percent chance, in the next 50 years, of a repeat of a major earthquake like those that occurred in 1811-1812, which likely had magnitudes of between 7.5 and 8.0. There is a 25 to 40 percent chance, in a 50-year time span, of a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake. USGS News Release - Scientists Update New Madrid Earthquake Forecasts |
